In The Spotlight

Marcus King – “Wildflowers & Wine”

Despite only being in his early twenties, this singer and songwriter has one on the most remarkable soul voices around. Hailing from Greenville, South-Carolina, he was brought up on blues and performed as a teen alongside his father, fellow bluesman Marvin King. Also a gifted blues guitarist, he is the front man of The Marcus King Band, which debuted with their 2015 album “Soul Insight”.

Musically describing a roadtrip to see a girl and stopping along the way to get a bottle of wine and pick wildflowers, his new single is a smooth slice of vintage soul. Taken from his upcoming solo album “El Dorado”, expected on January 17, 2020, it combines gospel influences, an emotional blues guitar and the rawness of his soul-drenched voice to create one of the most spectacular sonic experiences.

In The Spotlight

Beth Keeping – “San Francisco”

This British singer and songwriter grew up in Woking, where she found inspiration in the music of artists like John Mayer, Delta Goodrem and Martyn Joseph. After a stint as a busker on the streets of London, she started writing songs for other musicians both in the UK and abroad. With a sound marrying traditional country with modern pop, she released her debut EP “Fool” in 2018.

Inspired by her experiences while backpacking through South-East Asia, her new single takes a little detour from the Nashville twang. Smooth, minimal synths and catchy fingersnaps surround her angelic and seductive vocals, before bursting out in an infectious, anthemic pop chorus. With added contemporary electro elements basted in a retro glaze, this well-balanced tune is definitely a keeper.
